Custom Decals

Another rare find sent over from Daizo of bluXgraphics arrived today!  I received 2 decal sets to be used with Tamiya 1/12 scale motorcycles. 


The first is a decal set to recreate Norick Abe's 1998 Yamaha YZR500.  When complete, this is what I hope to recreate:


The donor kit is a Tamiya 99 Redbull YZR500.  From a design stand point, it is the perfect base to build this project bike as the components are a close match to the 98 machine.

Though this video is of the 97 YZR, you can't help but miss the 2 stroke era sometimes

The 2nd decal set is from Studio 27 to recreate Shimizu san's NSR250 in its' white, red, green livery.  The donor kit is Tamiya's 1991 Ajinomoto NSR 250, which was already a variant that Shimizu san rode.


 Thank you Daizo!
